Answer #1

Answer : Given,

Suni's consumption ratio = 3 blueberry boxes / 2 carton cream boxes

Suni's income = $200.

Based on Suni's income and given prices if Suni purchase 12 blueberry boxes and 8 carton cream boxes then Suni's total cost = (12 blueberry boxes * $10) + (8 carton cream boxes * $10) = 120 + 80 = $200.

At 12 blueberry boxes and 8 carton cream boxes the consumption ratio of Suni becomes = 12 blueberry boxes / 8 carton cream boxes = 3 blueberry boxes / 2 carton cream boxes.

Therefore, at $200 income level Suni will demand for 12 blueberry boxes and 8 carton cream boxes.

Homer consumes only donuts and beer. When he consumes less than 10 beers, Homer would gladly drink one more. After drinking 10 beers, Homer is so drunk that he does not notice any additional bottle he drinks (that is, the benefit of an additional bottle of beer is zero). Drinking more than 17 beers is beyond the processing capability of Homer’s liver and any additional bottle makes him sick (beer is no longer a “good” for Homer). Homer’s preferences for...
